SUNSHINE COAST, AUSTRALIA - SEPTEMBER 15: Wildlife carer Carolyn Beaton feeds a joey koala at The Australian Wildlife Hospital, the largest wildlife hospital in the world, on September 15, 2008 in Beerwah on The Sunshine Coast, Australia. The facility is located near Australia Zoo and was founded in 2004 by the late Steve Irwin in memory of his mother Lynn. It will be officially launched on Steve Irwin Day, November 15, 2008, to provide a surgical, rehabilitation and educational centre funded by the Wildlife Warriors Worldwide charity alongside 2.5 million dollars of donation from the Australian Government. The hospital will be able to treat up to 10,000 animals every year, and includes a koala disease research unit to help slow the rapidly declining numbers of koalas in Australia.
